I just got off a bus and was heading to the store when I saw someone on the sidewalk with a bunch of signs and a clipboard. I made the mistake of making eye contact with her and she basically jumped in my path with a clipboard in hand. She asked, "Excuse me sir, but are you fed up with the current state of this country where mass shootings have become common place?" I nodded my head and answered, "Well...yeah?" and that was enough for her to go off on a tangent.

I had to be back at my place by 4, so I was kind of in a rush and tried to politely end the "conversation". She stuck the clipboard out and asked for my support. I figured if that's what it'd take sure, but the instant I picked up the pen she started spouting out numbers and talking about donations.

I realized she was just trying to hustle me for some cash at this point, so I told her that I'm a bit strapped for money at the moment and of course she began to spin that around into me not caring about the safety of children. I kept trying to just walk away, but I had to cross the street and was stuck waiting for the light and she just went on and on.

She talked about funds helping raise awareness and taking a stand against the big business of the NRA with their lobbyists. Finally I flat out asked how much she was asking for and she looked at me and said "I need about tree fiddy." Well, it was about that time that I noticed that this concerned activist was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the paleozoic era. And I said "God damn Loch Ness Monster I ain't giving you no tree fiddy." "How about just two fiddy?" and I said "Ohhhhh! Now it's only two fiddy? What are they having a sale on Loch Ness munchies?" Got me so worked up and almost made me miss the light.

This is the country that we live in now.

Mass shootings haven't become commonplace. Liberal whining, that's become commonplace. If somebody wants to get rid of THAT, I'm all ears.

I see a lot more Trumpanzee whining than liberal whining lately. 16-17 sure, but the 'Zees are far more prevalent and whiny lately.

Where? Here on CE, most of the whining is coming from the left. Do you mean reddit?

Is it possible that all of the above have become commonplace?

America has had, what, 33 (I've lost count) this year so far. Yeah, they are commonplace.

Not when you take into account that there's a third of a billion people in this country and over two and a half million people die in America every year. About ten times as many people drown in America than are murdered with rifles.

No, it's not commonplace, all things considered.

I once seen a lady with a table in front of food lion that had a sign hanging from it that said, "cheese kills kids." I was so amused she didn't even bother speaking to me, must have been the look on my face or the pictures I was taking.

I bet that scam would work, though. Its damn manipulative and disgusting, but I am curious about how much money you could pull in, say, a day by constantly mentioning that its for the Florida kids.
